They had a *good* time with Hank…Lucky girls -part I


"I tend to think of myself as a whatever-makes-you-happy kind of a guy."
Hank Moody, Californication-Pilot

... And I think it too...





"In Californication, a 16-year-old girl jumps Hank after a 60-second conversation in a bookshop. Here we see another dimension of the nympho myth: the Lolita syndrome, the schoolgirl who is sexually precocious and in control, especially with boyfriends who share roughly the same birth dates as her dad."

------------------------
Starting from here,I’m thinking about the Hank’s women.
Each of them represent -in my opinion- an ideal,an abstraction, because they are fiction's characters too.
Hank Moody’s character is based on Charles Bukowski's alter ego Henry (Hank)Women's protagonist.
In Bukowski's universe, the female characters have often nice asses and loud mouths,but he is not a misogynists,he is just a positive womanizer,
à la recherche of the uman being in every woman he meets.
Moody muses on the misogyny of the culture of which he is a part: "Why is LA so hell-bent on destroying its female population?" he asks in his blog.
He is more sweet than Henry.
And, contrary to USA press that looks at Hank just like a man (by M.Gilbert,Different truth is out there for Duchovny on Showtime): "[...]jump(s) from woman to woman to prove his vigor", the truth is "the sex is Hank's way of dealing with all his personal great angst".(Mr.Duchovny interview by Kevin Thompson,Cox new service)
And in my opinion,all women in Californication are a day-dreaming,long away from real women.
And so on, I'll try to describe all men’s dreams on Playhank page.
